Real bad sound system 2012-03-26
We booked a table at this place for 15 of us. The place and crowd seemed chic. The bar and the size is quite spacious. Bouncers everywhere. That is where the good ends. The music was a repetition of same type of songs over and over again, to add to the agony the sound system is the most primitive, no clarity whatsoever just plain loudness. Another thing which I observed was the whole place isn't acoustically treated at all, I could hear the sound bouncing off and coming back. When at the outside dining place, the sound is almost sans bass. To the least please afford a high end bass in and out.... read more -

Great jello shots! 2012-02-07
Excellent for alfresco dining.
Try the jello shots here. We left the flavors for the bartender to decide - he made some good decisions!!!!!
They have a Lebanese platter or something similar which has a variety of breads and dips - awesome too!
Worth going to, sit in the outdoor section even though there's nothing too much of a view. The ac inside was enough to freeze my bones! -

Nice place, fantastic music .... good ambiance 2011-12-04
I was there last evening ..... the place was bustling with people, very few places have so many people in one lounge these days ...... The music was simple out standing ... and the icing on the cake was when they played Kolaveri Di ...... it was a fun night ...... the only bad thing about the place is -- the price. The alcohol is way over priced. Rs.500 for a beer is simply way too much ...... -

Rocking!!! 2011-11-14
Escobar is one of the finest and hippest place in the suburbs. I celebrated my birthday here and it was a good experience. The bar is massive and the DJ plays good music and the crowd is good too. -

Escobrat 2011-09-04
Escobar, for me is like a Bentley with a rickshaw engine. The bar looks impressive and the statuesque bouncers standing arms crossed in every corner give an air of importance. But underneath the polished surface the evidence of poor workmanship is soon felt. I can accept a dress code but can't see why smart, black leather shoe-sandals are apparently less acceptable than dirty white trainers. At least they gave me some socks. Drinks prices are ok but the Mojitos were substandard and were 'rectified' by the barman pouring in more rum and lemon. There were only two choices of beer (Fosters, Rs. 250;... read more -

Niceeee 2011-08-19
Really nice place. These guys maintain a strict door policy which is sometimes annoying but then i guess it is required for decent crowd.
Starters are excellent here and one will find mostly imported liquor. Best part is that it is very spacious and they maintain standards all the time. -

Had an amazing Sat night here!!!! 2011-05-11
In these times where pubs are sitting to rip you off by charging thousands for cover, Escobar is a sigh of relief!!! There is no entry charge, but a strict door policy, which I did not mind as I expected decent crowd inside..Just wear your best dress and slip on those high heels & no1s stopping you ;-)
The music is great and they play great commercial tracks past 12..But what I loved most is how SPACIOUS this place is!!! On one hand there's a Prive where you stand a chance of being squished to death, and then there's Esco, where space is clearly not an issue!
Cannot comment on the drinks,... read more -

Yet another splendid evening! 2011-04-21
I had yet another splendid evening at Escobar yesterday! Despite the relentless summer heat,the dinning experience on their open air terrace was superb,to say the least.Ample air coolers made sure that we were very comfortable and the superlative service just made it a perfect experience.The drinks came quickly,and starters followed soon after.The waiter attending to our table was there everytime we looked up to get his attention,and yet was discreetly going about his job.I recommend their excellent smoked salmon and their superb,thin crust pizzas with a range of toppings,we had the one with chicke... read more -

second visit, worse experience 2011-02-11
escobar has the worst management ever. the service is bad, the guys standing at the entrance are so so rude and condescending, you feel like they are doing you a favour by letting (or not letting) you in! drinks are below average and now i'll make sure i tell all my friends not to try out this place and waste their time. all negative reviews on this page are valid. -
RESPONSE FROM MANAGEMENT
Replied by: subhash bhosale, gm, on Feb 11, 2011 Flag this
We apologize for the uncomfortable situation at the gate. This is surprising because we have well trained professionals to serve our valued guests. However there is possibility to stop entry after we reach a certain number on busy nights to make sure guests inside are having a good time. Next time please try to call and book in advance to avoid any such situation.
Regards,Replied by: anusuya1, on Feb 12, 2011 Flag this
Thank you for responding, but this was a weeknight and there were not more than 10 individuals at the bar. Trained or not, these guys at that door definitely do not exude any respect towards people entering, as I or a couple of my acquaintances have never felt ''valued" at any level. Nevertheless, I appreciate that your response, but I shall remain strongly attached to my sentiments about Escobar, as I have been to many pubs, bars, lounge bars, clubs in Mumbai, and this one has missed the mark by many notches on service towards it patrons.

Happeninggg! 2011-01-29
Finally! Bandra gets one of her most pampered babies back! Certainly one of the most upbeat and happening places in Mumbai. Damn good food, drinks obviously good :D food and drinks with music is a combination that I really love, so full marks for that! :) -
